It's a scam. It really screwed up my iMac. MacKeeper's StopAd facility prevented me from opening the links in an email to read the rest of an email. Had to uninstall it so I could see the rest of the email.
MacKeeper also prevents me from opening a photo I had previously saved to my desktop. Had been able to open it and see the photo before installing MacKeeper. Now get a message from Google saying I need special app in order to see it. Can't find an app that works. Didn't have this problem until installing MacKeeper. When I complained to MacKeeper, its tech support claimed MacKeeper hadn't caused this problem. Their support wanted to charge extra to fix this. I refused to pay, so still have this problem, unless uninstalling MacKeeper...Show More

Have been a Premium customer for a few years now without a problem.
Talking to MacKeeper about the big jump in annual subscription and did agreeing to pay the fee again in November after real heavy marketing push and online system check. Since then my Mac has slowed down and is now a brick so what ever they did was done to system behind the senses to force me to get it remotely repaired at some astronomical fee they wanted to change me. Lucky I terminated the call and connection but as I say since then my Mac has become a brick.
DONT TOUCH THEM

They have been charging me for 2 years with my knowledge. I thought I cancelled it after my trial, but it wasn't. I admit, I should have been looking a my credit card statements.......Beware!
Just a scam

This company spams people, creates unnecessary popups several time sand hour 24/7, invades your viewing and is the biggest SCAM on the internet. Absolute crap marketing, messaging, pressure and performance. I switched and have never been better off. DO NOT USE MACKEEPER!!!!!!!
